Syracuse Engagement and Wedding Photography

Syracuse Engagement and Wedding Photography

It may be the hopeless romantic in me, but photographing weddings holds a special place in my heart. The responsibility I hold for capturing the couple’s day can sometimes leave me exhausted the next day. I strive to capture all the emotions and events in a beautiful and artistic way so when they look back upon the pictures many years into their future, it will bring back all the joy and happiness they experienced. .

Congratulations on finding someone to share your life and love with. Nothing is more fulfilling than the sacred bond which love provides. I absolutely love to photograph weddings and consider it an honor as well as a great responsibility. I can think of no other service on your wedding day, which is more lasting or holds greater responsibility. The photographs taken will provide you and your family the opportunity to remember the special moments and the people whom you shared this very special and sacred day with.

Like most couples, you have probably spent hours and hours of planning as well as a significant amount of resources in hopes of making one of the most important days in your life, a perfect one. When hiring a photographer for such an important day, you should be looking for a photographer who is not only an excellent Portrait Photographer, but also someone who is skilled in Photojournalism (candid and spontaneous moments), Architectural and Landscape Photography (being able to capture the venue in an artistic way) as well as Product Photography (being able to capture the dress, shoes, tables, cakes, party favors, etc… in a unique and effective way). It takes a well-rounded, experienced photographer to capture your wedding day in a professional, beautiful and creative way. I put in many, many, hours of work after the actual wedding – experimenting with color, contrast, saturation, exposure, etc… and I feel that this is part of the reason people find my work is unique and special.

In addition it is of utmost importance to have confidence in your photographers’ professionalism as well. A lot of time will be spent coordinating and communicating prior to, during and after your wedding. Having to deal with an inexperienced and/or unprofessional photographer will add a lot of stress. I have many excellent reviews and encourage you to visit my testimonials page and see what others have said.
